About this study

Official title: A Randomized Double Blind Comparison Between Single Doses of Symbicort Turbuhaler (Budesonide/Formoterol Combination), Formoterol, Salbutamol and Placebo in Repeated AMP-challenges in Patients With Mild - to Moderate Asthma. Investigating the Supplementary Value of the Budesonide Component Within Symbicort When Tested in a Model of Slow Onset Acute Asthma

The aim is to study whether the budesonide component within the budesonide/ formoterol combination inhaler has additive value in a model of "slow onset acute asthma" , namely three AMP provocation tests performed on one day

Conditions

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • budesonide/formoterol TurbuhalerDrug

    Also called Symbicort

  • formoterol TurbuhalerDrug

  • salbutamolDrug

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The decrease in lung function (FEV1) after the third AMP provocation test.

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Decrease in lung function (FEV1) after the second AMP provocation test,

  2. lung function and Borg Score over the test day,

  3. increase in FEV1 at three minutes after study drug inhalation,

  4. time course of recovery from the AMP-induced decrease in lung function

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing budesonide/formoterol Turbuhaler, formoterol Turbuhaler and salbutamol in people with Asthma, run by AstraZeneca at 2 sites in Netherlands.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Jun 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Netherlands. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The decrease in lung function (FEV1) after the third AMP provocation test.. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00272753, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 1 Jun 2011.
